| OpenGL is a vendor-neutral, multi-platform standard for creating |
| high-performance 2D and 3D graphics. Hardware and software |
| implementations exist on various operating systems, including Windows, |
| Linux and MacOS. OpenGL may be used to render simple 2D charts or |
| complex 3D games. This article describes an experimental Eclipse plug-in |
| that facilitates the use of OpenGL for drawing onto SWT widgets. A short |
| history and overview of OpenGL is presented, followed by an example |
| application. |
